In the classroom.
"Because now is the hour of guidance, as your homeroom teacher, I will ask."
Professor Elin who was standing in front of the class stared at his students.
"Is there a question? Or something you don't understand?"
Hearing Professor Elin's words, all the disciples looked at each other. For them, the rules are clear. Too simple to remember. But when they were about to answer none, one hand immediately raised high.
All the disciples immediately looked towards Reinhart who raised her hands with astonished expressions. Not expecting that 'exemplary student' to actually raise his hand.
"What do you want to ask, Reinhart?"
"For the final exam, can't the student not make a group, Professor?"
"En?" Professor Elin was surprised. "You're saying, you want to try to complete the task yourself? Aren't you overconfident, Young Man?"
"It's not so, Professor. If possible, would not the task given also be easier? Take potions for example?"
"..."
Seeing the student he was training trying to find a gap and wanting to laze around, the corner of Professor Elin's lips twitched.
"There's no such thing. Form a group of five people. The task will be assigned randomly. So ...
Now you understand?"
"..."
Reinhart stared at Professor Elin and glanced at Aiden who was looking at her with an excited expression. The blonde even showed her thumb. Seems so happy.
"I understand, Professor."
Reinhart took a deep breath. Absolutely did not expect that he would be stuck with Aiden (again).
Despite resisting many times, Reinhart believed the stubborn young man would continue to spin around him like a satellite circling a planet.
"Clear ..."
Realizing that he was not much friends and did not have the desired group of candidates, Reinhart finally gave up.
***
Her afternoon.
In the garden of the Starlight Academy, Reinhart sat under a tree. Although somewhat hot, the vegetation of the park is quite dense, so it is better than crowding in a canteen or classroom.
Reinhart even complained because there was no air conditioning magic. Or rather, the Academy was unwilling to be wasteful to purchase such equipment.
Too old and stingy!
"So, how are we going to determine his name, Reinhart?"
"What?"
"Of course the name of our team!"
"Not to be named. After all, this was just a group to carry out the task. No less, no more."
"Yes .. You're right."
Aiden stroked his chin with a serious expression. Looking at the blonde who was pretending to be serious, Reinhart really wanted to hit him in the face.
Aiden looked towards Reinhart with a puzzled expression.
"By the way, other than the two of us .. do you have three other candidates, Reinhart?"
"..."
Reinhart blinked. Stare at Aiden with a blank expression.
"???"
Many question marks instantly appeared above Aiden's head.
"Don't tell me you didn't think about it at all?!"
Seeing Aiden's shocked expression, Reinhart immediately replied in a monotonous voice.
"I don't have many acquaintances. Shouldn't it be you who did it? Have I not been kind enough to accept you in the group?"
"Should I thank you or regret that?"
"It's too late to regret it. We're just two kids stuck in the same boat.
If the boat capsizes, we'll both sink."
"But I can swim???"
Aiden replied unconsciously.
"That's an idiom, Stupid. Haah ..."
Reinhart stroked his forehead. Really feel a little depressed.
The young man thought Aiden would get a strong and suitable team in no time. After all, the blonde prince was truly more famous and had many friends compared to him.
At that moment, there appeared to be three figures walking towards the two of them.
Seeing that the three were beautiful girls led by Helena, Aiden's fiance, the blonde prince suddenly said in an indifferent tone.
"Regend ..."
Hearing Aiden's whisper, Reinhart stared at the three girls with flat faces.
Glancing at Aiden who looked solemn, the young man finally said.
"You owe me for this."
